What is Contrast?

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them. However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different. It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted. A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent. However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" and African cultural values

Chinua Achebe's 1958 novel "Things Fall Apart" provides readers with an intriguing account involving concepts like African cultural values, colonialism, and exaggerated self-respect. The writer does a great job describing the fictional African community of Umofia and relating to conditions in the territory during pre-colonial times. Even with the fact that the book largely concentrates on the protagonist, Okonkwo, it also succeeds in presenting readers with cultural values promoted in Umofia and in Africa as a whole through describing the central character's interaction with people in his community. Okonkwo's life experiences make it possible for readers to learn more regarding attitudes employed by individuals in Umofia in particular circumstances.
